Who Should I Start? Jakobi Meyers or Zay Flowers

Saturday, November 22, 6:53 PM

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Jakobi Meyers should once again have an increased role in the passing game this weekend. Fellow wideout Brian Thomas Jr. (ankle) has been ruled out for the third straight week. Last week, Meyers hauled in five of his six targets for 64 yards in the win over the Los Angeles Chargers. The assumption is that his role will continue to grow as he keeps learning the playbook. Meyers should be able to at least give fantasy managers WR3 value for this upcoming matchup against the Arizona Cardinals.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers has been one of the most consistent 10-to-12 fantasy point finishers in the NFL this year. That could be either good or bad depending on roster makeups and depth of league, but he's registered six finishes in that range for half-PPR formats. While the New York Jets are only 2-8 this season, they aren't the easiest matchup against opposing receiver groups. They're ranked 13th on the season, but they dipped to 23rd in the last four weeks and have given up a total of 37 receptions for 429 yards and two touchdowns. Flowers should see the same volume that he's received this season, but he's on a nine-game scoreless streak at the moment. That leaves him as a mid-level WR2 projection yet again.
